I so would have loved to give this hotel a five star review because most everything was wonderful. There was really only two issues that kept me from giving five stars but in my opinion it is an important enough one that I will discuss after all the great points.
We stay in room 803 in the East tower. This room is on the 8th floor which is considered the club level. We were offered the option to upgrade our room the day before for a small fee which we opted to do as it provided some nice amenities:
1. Continental breakfast in the morning (we had eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, pasties, cereal, juice, milk, coffee) great value.
2. Complimentary cocktails offered from 4-6 daily
3. Complimentary drinks and snacks anytime day or night
The club level is a great value and I definitely recommend it.
Anther benefit I found to our room was that it was listed as pool view. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that we also had a lovely view of the beach due to the design of the buildings. You can see our view in my pictures. If you are not staying in a pool view or ocean view room I recommend asking for a rooms on the outside in the East tower as they appear that they would be nicer than on the West side. You can see the East views from the pictures i took from the club room.
If you do get a pool view, i recommend the higher floors for less noise.
The room we stayed in was lovely and updated and we could see the beach from our bed. Beds were very comfortable especially compared to many places we stayed.
Beach chairs can be rented and charged to the room so no need to carry lots of cash around.
My main complaint and the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is the design of the bathroom door. This might sound trivial but the door leaves a complete lack of privacy. It is a barn style door that slides across the open doorway. The door sits about 1" off the wall and does not completely cover the opening leaving about a 1 1/2" gap across the front because of the way it slides all the way across. If you held it in place somehow you can reduce that gap to about 1/2". This means that at all times you can be seen and heard very easily. We were a family of four with myself, two daughters, and dad. This lack of privacy was a bit of an inconvenience. I took pictures of the door in place to show what I am referring to. The design is lovely and stylish however the function is very poor.
I will also mention that I could not get wifi in the room. This may have been isolated to our location, we simply used our cellular on phones and iPads so it was not really an issue for us. If wifi is a must for you, maybe inquire before hand about availability.
Overall if the lack of bathroom privacy is not an issue for you i can't recommend this resort enough. Beautiful resort feel, free valet parking, super staff, clean facilities, great drinks.
